Mirabel continues to rapidly develop strategically I would like to commend the incredible efforts of and is more cohesive and more efficient in service the Mirabel team, the Board of Management and delivery than ever before. With the continued the generosity of all of our supporters through this generosity of our supporters, the future of the difficult year. The team proved their ability to provide Mirabel children is in good hands. high quality support to a growing number of children and carers in an incredibly efficient manner.

The Committee’s Responsibility for the Financial Report The Committee of the Foundation is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report and has determined that the basis of preparation described in Note 1 to the financial report is appropriate to meet the requirements of the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 and the ACNC Act 2012 and is appropriate to meet the needs of the members. The Committee’s responsibility also includes such internal control as the Committee determines is necessary to enable the preparation of a financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We have conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Committee, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report. Our audit did not involve an analysis of the prudence of business decisions made by the Committee or management. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Independence In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of Australian professional ethical pronouncements. Opinion In our opinion the financial report of The Mirabel Foundation Inc. is in accordance with theAssociations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 and the ACNC Act 2012, including: a) giving a true and fair view of the Foundation’s financial position as at 30 June 2014 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and b) complying with Australian Accounting Standards to the extent described in Note 1, the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 and the ACNC Act 2012. Basis of Accounting Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 to the financial report, which describes the basis of accounting.
